I came here to make that point. I once worked where a startup where almost everyone in the 15 person tech side of the company would interview every candidate. On the rare occasions that all of us thought a candidate was a hire (1 in 30 candidates maybe) then the owner of the company could and often would still veto them if he wasn't happy. Once pretty much all of us agreed that a candidate was useless, but the owner overruled us and bought him in anyway. I have to say that guy actually ended up being quite successful at the company, so maybe the owner was better at spotting talent and we should have just skipped the whole charade. Alas, it was a very frustrating and arbitrary system to work under, both for us employees and the candidates.
